The court was told 200 photos of girls either holding or blowing up balloons were found when police searched his home in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.

Hundreds of similar images were found when police searched two sheds which Hunter had built himself on land sub-let to him on a farm in Aslockton, Notts.

Footage showing Hunter appearing to "simulate sex" with an orange balloon was also seized, Mr Outhwaite told the court.

Hunter, who has previously lived in Nottingham and Boston, pleaded guilty to four charges of breaching a sexual offences prevention order, and one charge of failing to comply with a notification requirement relating to the use of an alias.

Christopher Brewin, mitigating, said Hunter was released from prison on licence in the middle of 2016 and was not recalled to jail until April 5 this year for the new offences. His current address is HMP Lincoln.
